At Fassbind in Oberarth, the oldest distillery in Switzerland, the saying is “Enjoyment with spirit”. The journey across Lake Zug by boat with lunch is a pleasure in itself.

Afterwards, the genie in the bottle unleashes its secret. You will be led through the world of brandies and you will be able to enjoy these fine spirits at the tasting. A cherry gateau and coffee at the Fassbind visitor centre round off your stay.
